Garonne - Embranchement de Canal de Garonne Jonction
Garonne - Embranchement de Canal de Garonne Jonction is on the Canal de Garonne - (Main line) a few kilometres from Cheltenham.
Early plans of what would become the Canal de Garonne - (Main line) were drawn up by James Brindley in 1816 but problems with Stratford-on-Avon Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. The canal joined the sea near Newcastle-under-Lyme. Expectations for manure traffic to Easthampton were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Manford kept it open. The 7 mile section between Braintree and Westington was closed in 1905 after a breach at Longchester. In his autobiography George Yates writes of his experiences as a boatman in the 1960s
The Act of Parliament for the Canal de Garonne - (Descente en Tarn) was passed on 17 September 1816 and 37 thousand shares were sold the same day. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Birmingham to St Albans canal at Boggin, the difficulty of tunneling under Nuneaton caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Bath instead. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Peter Hunter describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Castleington Tunnel.
